32nd OPEN DANCE SCENE
– Festival Lent 2023, June 20, 21, 22
The Open Dance Scene is a festival of contemporary dance art, where we seek intersections between younger and already established artists, between their conceptually and expressively diverse performances that convince, inspire and culturally enrich the audience. It is a dance platform for networking dance creativity, originality, boldness, and successful international integration. This year, the main focus is on young dance talents, on the young generation of dance makers who, despite their youth, impress with their creative and performative maturity..

Even if we speak the same language, each individual translates each message into their internal language, consisting of their experiences, perceptions, interests, feelings, and cognitive processes. Thus, the translation is at best only an echo of the essence.

AN EVENING OF DANCE FILMS
In the evening of dance films, we gathered some authors who in the past years approached the medium of dance through a film lens in a unique way. The topics range from exploring the body's relationship with nature, the layered essence of viewing, the weaving of relationships through space, the question of nothingness and expression through singing, movement and speech, and movement-sound improvisational images.
Expert selection of films: Snježana Premuš
1. GAEA - Aja Zupanec in Iza Skok (9 min 25 s)
2. INFUSION WITH MYSELF - Žigan Krajnčan in Borut Bučinel (4 min 30 s)
3. POSEBNA IZDAJA - Andreja Podrzavnik (6 min)
4. PERMANENT EXHIBITION OF NOWNESS – Kolektiv Federacija & Vid Hajnšek (16min)
